88 The More, the Merrier<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
By the time we got to Spade A, Violet had already downed half a bottle.<\/p>\n
Three empty whiskey glasses sat in front of her, and her cheeks were burning red.<\/p>\n
Half\u2013drunk, she kept muttering how all men were scumbags.<\/p>\n
I walked over, patting her back gently to calm her down.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d known Violet long enough to understand her moods.<\/p>\n
She just needed to let it out. By tomorrow, she\u2019d be back on her feet again.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when I heard a familiar voice behind me. \u201cDeanna?\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned and saw Terence. He wore a black casual outfit, a surprised smile tugging at his lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re here tonight too? My birthday party\u2019s in suite 902. Why don\u2019t you come join us?\u201d<\/p>\n
I was ready to say no.<\/p>\n
But before I could, Violet stood up, swaying with her glass in hand.<\/p>\n
\u2018Perfect! I\u2019m in a bad mood. Let\u2019s see who can drink with me tonight!\u201d<\/p>\n
And just like that, she followed Terence out.<\/p>\n
shut my eyes briefly, resigned, then trailed after them.<\/p>\n
The moment the suite door opened, deafening music and thick waves of cologne and alcohol spilled out.<\/p>\n
Expensive liquor bottles littered the tables, the whole place a mess of noise and luxury.<\/p>\n
And in the deepest corner of the couch sat the one man I least wanted to see.<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t make out his expression, but the moment his eyes swept over me, the weight of it pressed down like a storm.<\/p>\n
Violet noticed him too. She paused for a second, then gave a cold laugh.<\/p>\n
Leaning close to my ear, she whispered, \u201cDon\u2019t be scared. I\u2019m here. He won\u2019t dare lay a hand on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
let out a long sigh. With the way she was stumbling around drunk, I wasn\u2019t sure who would be protecting whom tonight.<\/p>\n
Robert\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I was about to kiss the woman beside me. My lips were almost there when I caught movement at the private room door. I stopped<\/p>\n
on instinct.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, isn\u2019t that the famous Ms. Wiley?\u201d someone called out. \u201cWasn\u2019t she done with Jake? Why is she showing up for Terence\u2019s birthday now? Trying to win Jake back?\u201d<\/p>\n

Terence shot me a warning look. \u201cDeanna is my friend. I invited her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInvited?\u201d I almost laughed. I leaned forward and pointed at Deanna.<\/p>\n
\u201cTerence, don\u2019t let her fool you. Back when Jake ignored her, she was always asking you about him, pestering you for some intel. Now she\u2019s having second thoughts and trying the same trick\u2013using you to win Jake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Right after I said that, the woman behind Deanna stepped forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with your mouth? It smelled awful. Every word you say just pollutes the air. Getting back together? Keep dreaming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trecognized her. She was the actress who\u2019d been all over the tabloids lately. I sneered.<\/p>\n
A C\u2013list actress like you should worry about your mess. Your scandals are everywhere. Not sure what kind of man you think you<\/p>\n
can attract.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t even compare,\u201d she shot back. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t lower myself to someone like you.\u201d<\/p>\n
No woman had ever spoke with me like that.<\/p>\n
My fists clenched, and I stood up, ready to argue. Then Jake\u2019s voice cut through the room like ice.<\/p>\n
\u201cSay another word and get out.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked up. Jake\u2019s brow was tight. His eyes were cold enough to freeze anyone. Clearly, he was mad.<\/p>\n
When the Alpha speaks, you listen. I swallowed what I was about to say.<\/p>\n
My anger had nowhere to go. I shoved it into the nearest outlet and pinched the woman in my arms hard. She winced. That small sting made me feel a little better.<\/p>\n
She was just some actress, anyway. Her chest wasn\u2019t even as big as the woman in my arms.<\/p>\n
Terence lifted a bottle and poured a glass.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my birthday. Let\u2019s keep it civil and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fine. You want some fun, huh?<\/p>\n
I pulled out my phone, opened my WhatsApp, and shared my location with Peggie.<\/p>\n
